“Ghostly figure” of woman spotted on building site security video

The “ghostly figure” of what appears to be a woman walking across a building site in the middle of the night has been spotted on CCTV.

The “ghostly figure” of what appears to be a woman in a white dress walking across a building site in the middle of the night has been spotted on CCTV.

Security firm boss Adam Lees, 47, was alerted when a motion sensor camera picked up movement at the construction site in Birmingham at 1.53am on Tuesday.

He said he checked the security alert on his laptop and spotted the eerie figure walking past building materials.

The mysterious figure was captured on CCTV.

But when he instructed a full patrol of the area just three minutes later, security guards found it all clear and with no sign of any intruders.

The incident has baffled the dad-of-three who admits he has struggled to sleep since.

Mr Lees, who is managing director of Limitless Security and lives in Walsall, West Mids., said: “I have no idea what it is but its freaked me out that’s for sure.

“We provide security for hundreds of building sites across the Midlands. If anything moves on our sites a camera takes a picture – it works on infra-red – and it alerts one of our guards.”

BIZARRE “DISAPPEARANCE”

Mr Lees said he thought the image “looked a bit weird” when it popped up on his computer, and sent on-site security guards out to the area to have a look.

“They went out straightaway, it was within minutes and there was no sign of anybody there or of anybody ever being there – it was really bizarre,” Mr Lees said.

“I have no idea what it could have been but I didn’t sleep the rest of the night and it gave me the shivers that’s for sure.

“I’ve never believed in ghosts but I can’t explain this. People have been saying its fake but I can assure them it is 100 per cent genuine.”

Security firm boss Adam Lees said he was left petrified and struggled to sleep after watching it.

Mr Lees said the woman looked like a “ghostly bride”.

“I wish it wasn’t [real], as it has properly given me the creeps. I’ve never seen anything like it before,” he said.

“She’s leaning forward and seems to be floating, and is holding something in her hands.

“To me it looks like she’s wearing a wedding dress like she’s waiting to get married. It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen in five years of looking after hundreds of sites like this.

“Imagine looking at this image when you’ve been woken up at two in the morning and are half asleep. It took my a while to drop off again after that.”

The image has been shared tens of thousands of times on social media – but not everyone is convinced that it shows a ghost.

“Looks like something my 12 year old nephew conjured up in his ICT class,” one person commented.

“That can’t be real, not in a million years … or could it?” another said.
